The saga of its success has gained notable impetus, making it the most sought after and popular housing societies of the time. Considering its popularity and the services that it offers, it would not be unfair to tag DHA as a brand name that can be relied upon for many years to come.

The answer lies in its remarkable performance and utter focus on providing international and high-end living standards. Moreover, it proves itself outstandingly promising for the property investors and offers sound capital appreciation and decent ROI.

DHA has come a long way to be one of the best townships that the affluent of Pakistan prefer to live in. In course of last one decade, the residents of DHA have swelled to a large number. The community has its roots in the three major cities of Pakistan, i.e. Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad and all three are performing notably well, supporting the premise of premier lifestyle.

Raheel Ahmed: In my opinion, by the end of year, the market would flourish further bringing further improvement and spike in value of property in DHA Lahore.

Zameen.com: If the Government manages to get rid of the Patwari system in Pakistan, what will be its impact on the local realty market?

Raheel Ahmed: The abandonment of Patwari will fix the bribery and corruption in the real estate sector.

Zameen.com: What will be the effect on budget 2013-14 on property sector?

Raheel Ahmed: The new property taxes proposed in Budget 2013-14 would not leave any serious affects on the market.

Raheel Ahmed is of the view that the one of the major factors behind the current fame of DHA Lahore is that many rich and elite people from different areas of Pakistan have moved to DHA Lahore or prefer to own a house here.

However, it is not just DHA Lahore that enjoys its happening status of being under the investors’ spotlight, DHA Karachi and Islamabad are also known to greet and treat the investors in an equally jubilant manner. Whenever DHA launches a new phase, it follows the norm of offering property files to the investors and prospective residents before the allotment of possessions. As the development undergoes, value of these property files increases. Investors find it a very tempting to invest in DHA property files in order to crystallize impressive returns on investment. Not only local investors, the overseas Pakistanis also reckon DHA as auspicious community for investment purposes.

Defence Housing Authority where on one hand provides opportunities to the investors to bag noteworthy returns on their respective investments, also offers top-notch living amenities and conveniences to the residents. Whenever, a discussion about the posh localities of Pakistan is ignited, the striking developments done in DHA Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi cannot be overruled. The authority provides all the in-town facilities to its residents, which are usually needed for relishing luxury living features, tailored to the wants of elite class.

Another unique feature of the DHA is its symphony in town planning and check and balance over the construction plans of the houses and commercial properties. These features are seldom found in other communities of Pakistan. Since many new housing societies in Pakistan also seem to follow the same trend, DHA can be regarded as the trend setter for housing sector and private communities in Pakistan.

DHA Lahore provides lavish living opportunities to the people and offers investment opportunities to the various individuals connected to it. All of it makes DHA an all-rounder in the realty sector of Pakistan.
